So recently me and my friend @Pablo22510 , actually not recently, but always were arguing about Rommel. I said that he was a Nazi and Pablo said that he wasn't a Nazi and that he was not aware of the concentration camps in Germany and other countries. Pablo this will most likely prove you wrong.

I know. Their attempt failed.Quasi-duck wrote:

Hang on a second, you're saying they killed everyone in Lidice, to cover up the fact that they killed everyone in Lidice?Pablo22510 wrote:

I'm saying that they killed veryone in Lidice to cover up the fact that they had killed everyone in Lidice because Heydrich had been killed.Quasi-duck wrote:

Can you not see the stupidity in what you are saying? You've basically said that they killed dead people.Pablo22510 wrote:

I see what pablo is saying,
Really?oceanhawk wrote:

Wow....
Heydrich killed > kills everyone in Lidice > kills everyone in Lidice
That does not make sense.

If they really wanted to cover it up they wouldn't let anyone survive. But they did. The third Reich seemed invincible at that time, and they must have thought nobody inside their territory could've stopped them.
Yeah, I guess. Good point.
Hello people.
I come to clarify some things.
A greeting.

Rommel was known for his piety by the prisoners. The British mythologized Rommel as the General German great who was defeated.Quasi-duck wrote:

Look, I'm laughing at him because he is more well known for being nice to POW's, which should be a given, than his valour in France and tactics in North Africa.

- The name "Erwin Rommel" is allowed in the game.
- The use of images about Rommel is prohibited because it contains symbols National-Socialist
- Erwin Rommel was a General who served in the Third Reich in the theatre of North Africa. Erwin Rommel was characterized by his mercy towards the prisoners and follow the rules of war.
- Erwin Rommel took part in the conspiracy to overthrow Adolf Hitler, and after the failure of the conspiracy, Rommel was forced to commit suicide.
- It is not known with certainty if Erwin Rommel had knowledge about the concentration camps.
A greeting.

Lol... that would be the day, when a fan forum for an internet game became proof of historical events!FilipALFA wrote:

To add a couple of cents to this thread...
Yes, Rommel was an early admirer of Hitler, and yes, he became disappointed in him in the second half of the war. However, he did NOT take part in the july 20th plot, even though his chief-of-staff, general Speidel, was one of the key figures, and more or less openly invited him to take part in a post-Hitler German government (as minister of defense, if I remember correctly).
Rommel approved of the idea of a regime change in Germany, but he wanted an "arrest and trial" treatment for Hitler rather than an assassination; he wanted no part in that. Of course, after the july events, it didn't make much difference to the Gestapo chasing everyone that was even vaguely related... hence the forced suicide.
It wasn't a given during the war. He was the only German geneal I can think of that treated them well. No Russkie general treated them well, and no Allied general took special interest in them.Quasi-duck wrote:

Well, would you expect them to? The Germans broke a Non-Aggression Pact, shot most Soviets on sight, tortured POW's and killed civilians as they pleased.Pablo22510 wrote:

I think there was one, but he does not come to mind.Pablo22510 wrote:

Of course I wouldn't expect them to, but neither would I expect a German general to treat POWs well.Quasi-duck wrote:

War in the USSR was tit-for-tat and brutality one-ups.Pablo22510 wrote:
